because it is abuse that you are inflicting on your own body. If you did this to someone else it would be abusive and reported. you deserve as much respect as any one else (even if you don't believe it).

I totally agree with kiya

Someone once told me to treat myself like I would a kind friend. Bare this in mind...

sometimes (lots of times) i ask that same question... if i am careful and it helps who does it hurt?.... hmmm i can answer that for you... but when it comes to me it's much harder... i guess the truth is... if nothing else... when we cut... we are in a way deflecting from the pain... that we need to be processing so we can move on... to get past it all... lyn

I ask myself that question all the time. I don't understand. If I make any stride towards stopping, it is usually for me T, not me. There must be a very small part of me underneath all of this that genuinely wants to stop-- I just haven't make contact with her yet.

(((((((((((Lily)))))))))))))))))

You deserve love, respect, and security - not only from others, but also from yourself. SIng sorta is the exact opposite of that... but I know that sometimes I've asked myself the same thing, and I've always had to come to the conclusion that it isn't healthy for me and that I don't deserve anything bad to happen to me - even if some people tell me otherwise.
